His items are full of false statments, He is selling a Tusken rifle that is just an inaccurate for way to much as well, and a batman begins chest emblem, which is cool but only one problem batmn begins doesnt have a chest emblem its embedded into the armor.

I've Known Webelys, I've handled Webelys, Hell, I own a couple..... that my friends is a piece of @#$%*&@! And a bad piece of it to bat! Wait, let me pull myself off the floor, I can't stop laughing...... still laughing.... wait, wait........no, still laughing....annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd! OK I'm done

I just wrote him saying IF He doesnt rewrite that I'm turning it into eBay. That IS NOT anything close to the webley in the Empire Strikes Back. I hate people that try to pawn there to bit crap as a real deal, after careful thinking I have decided He has pissed me off.

Usually, when I wake up on Monday mornings, I'm in a bad mood to begin with, and seeing this auction sent me over the top. I just sent this to the seller:

"You might want to reword your auction, as there are no 'original bluprints' to the Fett rifle. The original prop was built around a vintage Webley & Scott flare gun, it was not designed specifically for the films. In no way does the 'prop' you're trying to offload resemble the flare gun, or any screen-used Fett rifle. Any true movie prop collector knows this, and you should be ashamed for trying to sell this 'prop' for so much money. Far better, more accurate kits are available for less than a quarter of what you're asking. Good luck on your auction, but if anyone bids or wins this, then it shows that they know less about this particular prop than you do."

Me- Hello, there was a recent flux of halfbaked props circulatiing around eBay, This is not a good thing and I have recently came around your auction and in the interest of the prop and costuming community I must take action so that noone will be scamed by a false representation of a product you claim to be a real Webley and scott flare gun, from its original blue prints? No such thing.

I suggest you reword your auction or eBay will be informed, and trust me You wont win.

... very impressive piece?!? who does this guy think he is? its looks like a lego gun made with pieces of wood you could find laying on the ground! blueprints? probably self drawn. no way that gun is worth the price he's selling it for. i feel sorry for any one who wants to buy this piece of crap!

"thank you for your comments i think your time would be better spent washing your anarak or maybe trainspotting than insulting other peoples work if you are not interested in this item i would appreciate if you would not waste my time with your petty emails. the replica was not based around the webly gun but a much earlier concept design!! have a nice day"

So of course, I replied:

"I am absolutely not interesting in purchasing your 'prop'. My interest lies with the eBay community, and with those would might be duped by your deceptive description. You told me this item was 'based on an earlier concept', but your ad states the blueprints were used 'in the film'. Sorry, pal, but now you're back-talking. By the way, you've become a laughing stock over at the Dented Helmet, a forum for those prop collectors who know a replica Fett rifle when they see it. http://forums.thedentedhelmet.com/showthread.php?t=6319

And by using sarcastic language in your earlier response, you've ticked me off just enough to go ahead and report your auction to eBay. With luck, maybe you can change your user ID yet again. "
